520 _a"The Girls of Central High on the Stage; Or, The Play That Took The Prize" by Gertrude W. Morrison is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around a group of high school girls involved in a secret society, the M. O. R., as they confront challenges related to their building's financial stability and the thrill of competition for a playwriting prize. The main character, Jess Morse, faces personal struggles and aspirations that intertwine with her desire to win the prize to improve her family's financial situation. The opening of the story introduces readers to the lively world of Central High, establishing a backdrop of camaraderie and ambition among the girls. During a reception at their society's house, the girls brainstorm ways to secure funds for their organization amidst rising rents. This leads to the exciting suggestion of a playwriting contest to engage the broader school community. At the same time, Jess's personal circumstances are explored, highlighting her economic struggles and dreams that motivate her to participate in the contest. The narrative sets the stage for Jess's journey as she navigates the complexities of adolescence, friendship, and financial desperation, with the prize serving as both a tangible goal and a beacon of hope.
